Protein Yield Competition:
List your bacterial yield here (final mg's- milligrams of total protein) for GBR22
there will be some kind of prize for the winner - of course your yield must be backed up by your data - e.g. Nandrop

2013 Version:
Online Report: use your page on the WikiSpaces (under Protein Labs)
Lab Report:
This report will encompass the last three (3) labs: protein expression, purification, and characterization.
1,000 words total –
Since this is online – you must be efficient with your words! Make them count!
Title: think of something semi-creative
Intro words: this should have some background information on technique of protein production and purification.
There is a good article here: Nat Methods. 2008 Feb;5(2):135-46. Protein production and purification.
End with an objective statement where you briefly sum-up what you set out to do in this set of experiments. Include a brief hypothesis.
M&M 250 words: be succinct, concise, and brief while allowing an informed reader to be able to replicate your work. Do not show calculations for prelabs.
Results: show images of your results that you have already taken
CAPTIONS: make sure you have good captions (captions don’t count against the word limit)
Transformation plates images - Mention how many colonies you got. Flask images, purple pellet images (include the weight of your pellet)
Images of Elution 1 and 2 in tubes, Nanodrop screen shots (of 280nm reading for Elution 1 only) - Include yields from your Nanodrop spectrophotometry for your protein amounts.
Show brief calculations for Beer’s law calculations. A=Ebc
Protein Gel images, Image of Ladder from web as reference (molecular weight marker used – get from website of company)
Discusssion
Analyze your results, address sources of error, and answer any questions from the handout
Q: Why do we use lysozyme? Why do we use Benzonase/Cyanase?
Q: Briefly, address how the HIS tag system works
Q: Explain what is in the sample after each step: Sample 1, 2, 3,4 ,5, and 6
Q: What is different about the Wash vs. the Elution buffer?
Q: State the size of your protein from the gel and compare it to the size you determined in the protein purification lab
Q: address the purity of your sample
Conclusions
Recap what was done
State key finding(s)
Address future directions/applications of this work to VDS research

NOTE: For the Purification Lab Pictures - show your images of the Elutions 1 & 2, but only show the Nanodrop image for the Elution 1 at the 280 nm Wavelength only.ARIEL C
